I Need Sympathy And Understanding

[wolf63]

I was at the dentist a couple of hours ago and got a back molar yanked out. The dentist said that it left a big hole so he put little plug things in it and that they would dissolve. Does anybody know what they are called?
I asked him, but forgot immediately afterwards.

I am in quite a bit of pain and feel miserable. I have earache on the same side (probably totally unrelated to my tooth problem) and blocked sinuses (again unrelated) so have dosed up on painkillers and plan on hiding under the duvet with my Kindle and two moggies.

[ummmm]

I put Stevie's tablets in a piece of ham.

read two lines of that link - don't read it - it might upset you more and it hardly happens - it is called dry socket but I had 7 extractions in two weeks and thank god no dry socket and I wouldn't read about - just go on to kindle and cuddle up to the moggies

hi wolf - thinking of you - has your pain subsided - hope so - in the meanwhile - rinse your mouth with tepid water and a little salt - it takes any infection away. bless you and your moggies. jjcon
